Economics Leadership Council (ELC)

The Economics Leadership Council is the primary alumni service organization for the Department of Economics. Its roots are embedded in the 1837 legislation that established the University of Michigan along with a provision for a Board of Visitors "to make an examination into the state of the University and report results to the superintendent, suggesting such improvements as they deemed important." Today's ELC members serve by invitation of the Department Chair to provide advice, financial support, and outreach opportunities that advance the long-term goals of the Department. The ELC meets annually on the Ann Arbor campus. Members are appointed for three-year renewable terms.
